Unpacking how her guests handled the initial blow of losing a loved one. How and where they found support. The delicate task of organising the perfect, personalised funeral. And the coping mechanisms they relied on to get them through the darkest of times. They’ll also be sharing their best advice alongside Cruse Bereavement Support and Co-op Funeralcare specialists, in the hope it helps someone out there who needs to hear it most.
